I took a picture of that new bus and I even took a ride on it
@KofCFrank065113 ай бұрын
At one time there were about 18 street grade crossings in New Haven... This one (Belle Dock) this would continue on Water St, over the Tomlinson Bridge/Forbes Ave then round out to Waterfront St & terminate at the UI facility...There was another line that was called the Manufactures Line that ran just east of this crossing on the other side of the Mill River that would cross John Murphy Drive, Grand Ave & Chapel St (east of the Chapel St Bridge) that would hug James St & River St & would terminate past Ferry St... The Shoreline would dissect Fair Haven along Main St, Monroe St, Blatchley Ave, Fillmore, Poplar ST, Ferry St in line to the Quinnipiac River (North of the Grand Ave Bridge) to Clifton St then along Lenox St & Warwick St to East Haven...The Farmington Canal line would come street grade along Canal St & cross Webster St, Munson St, Division St, & the side streets in-line to Hamden & the Derby/New Haven Railroad that would cross the Boulevard ( by the flea market) & terminate at Long Wharf. two tracks are still there near Hummel Brothers.

No, there were 12 of them on the road already. They was all delivered months/weeks ago but the other 2 electric buses (#2111 and #2112) was supposed to be for Stamford, CT after the testing procedures. But after the fire completely destroyed bus #2012, once again, all of the electric buses are off the roads due to the officials (fire marshal, police, etc..) is currently conducting an investigation of the cause of the battery fire.
